I researched prenatals for a while before I settled on this one. I wanted a vitamin that was derived from whole foods and that was organic. It was also really important to me that it contain actual folate and not folic acid. I took it all throughout pregnancy and now while nursing as well. I feel like you actually absorb the nutrients and don't just pee them out. :)

I've been using these almost my entire pregnancy and think they are great. I try to buy them on sale, because they are pretty expensive. I like knowing that there is nothing artificial in the vitamins and that they are whole/ raw foods. It helps me feel confident that I'm getting the nutrients I need while I breast feed.

I first started using these pre-natals when we started trying to conceive & noticed an immediate difference in my energy levels. Throughout my pregnancy they never made me feel sick. I still use them now since I am breastfeeding & may continue beyond that.

Many people who are sensitive to gluten are also unable to tolerate oats (even ones marked gluten-free). The herbal blend in this vitamin contains oats, but it is still technically gluten-free. Because of the small amount contained, it took a while for a reaction to emerge.

If you are unsure, I'd recommend the small bottle first to see if you can tolerate it. They are otherwise great vitamins.
